New to Mommyhood? Here’s What You ACTUALLY Need When Your Baby Starts Solids!

Starting solids is one of the most exciting (and messy!) milestones for both babies and parents. Around 6 months, your little one begins exploring new textures, flavors, and feeding skills — and having the right tools makes the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable.

At Mumzland, we’ve rounded up the must-have feeding essentials to help you and your baby start solids with confidence.

1. Silicone Suction Plate

Say goodbye to flying bowls and food on the floor! A silicone suction plate keeps meals in place while your baby learns to self-feed. The divided sections also help you serve balanced portions of fruits, veggies, and proteins. Here is the one we Love.

 

 

2. Baby Feeding Set (All-in-One)

If you’re just starting out, go for a complete feeding set that includes a plate, bowl, cup, spoon, and fork — all made from safe, BPA-free silicone. This Feeding set is Perfect.

 

 

3. Silicone Suction Bowl

A deep suction bowl is perfect for purees, oatmeal, and soups. It sticks firmly to your baby’s high chair and has curved edges that make scooping easy for little hands.

 

4. Baby Spoon and Fork Set

Soft-tipped spoons and easy-grip forks help your baby learn to eat independently without hurting their gums. Silicone or bamboo-handled options are ideal for tiny hands.

 

5. Training Cup or Sippy Cup

Encourage independent drinking early with a training cup. Choose one with handles and a soft spout or straw — it helps develop hand-eye coordination and oral skills.

Bonus Tips for Starting Solids

  • Always introduce one new food at a time to watch for allergies.

  • Start with smooth textures like purees, then move to mashed or soft solids.

  • Let your baby play with food — it’s all part of learning!

  • Keep mealtime relaxed and positive — no pressure, just fun exploration.

    Final Thoughts

    Starting solids can feel overwhelming, but with the right gear and mindset, it becomes a joyful milestone. Mumzland’s feeding essentials are designed to make those first bites easier, safer, and cleaner — for both you and your little one.
